The Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) Alliance announced today the release of the NGMN White Paper on 4.3-10 RF Connector Migration Strategies. The White Paper describes migration proposals, application scenarios, and corresponding configuration strategies of the 4.3-10 RF connector. The aim of the proposal is to ensure the most optimal migration from the 7-16 DIN connector (currently in use) to the 4.3-10 connector, further improving next-generation network performance and promoting a win-win strategy for the industry.

As the latest industry innovation, the new RF connector can be used on RRUs, antennas, and antenna line devices for RF signal transmission. Although the 7-16 DIN has been the predominant mainstream connector in existing network configurations, the rapid progress of MBB networks has driven the demand for smaller connectors to reduce equipment size while providing enhanced PIM performance. The new 4.3-10 connector expertly satisfies the increasing requirements for the development of the mobile communications industry, making the transition from the 7-16 DIN connector to the 4.3-10 connector a logical and welcome trend. The NGMN Alliance first established the NGMN 4.3-10 connector task force in May last year, making considerable efforts to align industry migration strategies and reduce costs related to technology migration.

The task force was comprised of leading international operators, infrastructure vendors, and antenna suppliers. Mr. Heino Cumpanas, Head of the NGMN 4.3-10 task force and Director of Antenna Marketing and Product Management Huawei, praised the latest 4.3-10 connector’s compact size, simple installation, and additional reliable PIM performance: "These features will help promote the evolution of mobile communications products, enhance network performance, and reduce operator O&M expenditure."

What is a QR-code?

Three steps: Scanning a QR-code: Find your way to a press release without typing. Use the QR-code (shown on the print version of each press release) to get redirected to the corresponding page on PresseBox with your smartphone without typing the URL manually.

How does scanning a QR-code work? Just follow these simple steps.

Everything you need is an web-enabled mobile phone or smartphone with a built-in camera and a QR-code reading software.

QR stands for Quick Response - with one step you can quickly reach a website. QR-codes work like bar codes, which you can find on your milk carton, for example. A software decrypts the QR-code and directs you to a web page - so you do not even need to know the web address to reach it.
